  • Pandemic: 'number two' of chavismo and the president of Bolivia test positive

The coronavirus advances among the ranks of the revolution. Tareck El Aissami, economic vice president and oil tsar, has joined the list of infected Chavista leaders, led by Diosdado Cabello, 'number two' of the regime. "Infinite thanks for so many messages of affection and solidarity. Here I keep them in my soul and I return them full of blessings for everyone. Love heals everything, that is why we will go forward to continue embracing the revolutionary cause. We will win!" confirmed the almighty radical militant, one of the keys to the current Bolivarian power.

And like the rest of his co-religionists, he bet on victory, as if it were a new revolutionary battle. "Force brother Tareck! A new battle that you will win with the divine light of God. Now to comply with all the treatments and the recommendations of the doctors so that you recover soon. For health and life: We will win!" Nicolás Maduro himself, who also made public messages of support for Cabello and the governor of Zulia, Omar Prieto .

The influence of El Aissami has been parallel to the enthronement of Maduro, although Hugo Chávez already supported him in his first political steps. From the governorship of the central state of Aragua he jumped into national politics, becoming over the years and positions one of the main axes of the ruling party. In the latest government changes, Maduro handed over the oil power from the Ministry of Energy.

Of Lebanese descent, he is considered the key man in relations with Iran and Hezbollah, which caused him to be included by the United States in 2019 among the most wanted men. His 'head', like that of Cabello, has a price: ten million dollars compared to the 15 in which Maduro's capture was valued.

The flood of contagious Chavista leaders does not stop only between political positions. In the last few hours it has been known that the Covid-19 is also advancing at full speed among the ranks of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), which until very recently seemed unscathed in the face of the pandemic plaguing the American continent. "We have an important group of infected officers and troops, more than 160 troops who have been accompanying the house-to-house health brigades that Nicolás Maduro has ordered," General Vladimir Padrino López confessed today in the act of transmitting command to the new commanders, held at the Ministry of Defense, in Caracas.

The Defense Minister, who has emerged victorious from the pulse maintained against Cabello in the battle of promotions, acknowledged that most of the contagions have occurred at the border , during the care of migrants who return to the country. These Venezuelans are forced to stay at least two weeks in a kind of confinement camp, denounced for their lack of sanitation and poor conditions.

The Government has so far recognized almost 9,000 infections and 83 deaths, figures that experts and the democratic Parliament assure are adulterated, as has been the case with all health statistics for five years.

Meanwhile, both in Zulia and Lara, doctors continue to die, more than a dozen according to local unions. Venezuela will extend the alarm state for another month to control the coronavirus outbreak. Bolivarian propaganda has been forced to suppress the songs of victory over the pandemic in the face of the advance of the so-called "Colombian virus", a way to avoid constant criticism for the collapse of the country's hospitals.
